Re: DeadLifting

For competition purposes I say yes. Im not a "form *****", but deads are the one that I do try to keep somewhat strict and at low reps. I feel as fatigue sets in from higher reps your groove gets a little funky and opens you up for possible injury. Although I've seen some hitching MoFos and never get hurt once....

Re: DeadLifting

Depends on the person. Some people just shouldnt deadlift. Ever.
Then you hear of some 80 year old dude deadlifting 700 pounds with no problem. Go figure.

Re: DeadLifting

I deadlift pretty often, but rarely go SUPER heavy. I'll occasionally get in the the 4-5 rep range, but almost never go all the way to a single one rep pull. I'm doing them for the density and thickness and for me I get that best with a little lighter weight and higher volume. I do notice as I've gotten older, the less "sloppy" I can allow myself to be during a lift. Form is paramount with deads.

i have started doing muscle rounds with mine for safety. you take a weight you can do for 15 reps with perfect form. then you do 6 sets of 4 with it. you do a set wait 10 sec and then do another until you have all 6 sets done. great and safe technique

Re: DeadLifting

I never go heavy. At most 1/2 my max or less. I have a really light frame. add some AAS and I get real strong and that is a combo for me getting hurt. train smarter not heavier I say.
